Office Christmas Party Look With Debenhams

Going from work to an after hours party without time to change can be tricksy, but I think I've put together something totally workable with a little help from Debenhams!

For a start, I'm not the girliest of girls in the office and I very rarely wear a skirt or dress, so even just a hint of leg will up my game. With that in mind I chose this Girls On Film Pink Lace Sleeve Dress (£40) because it's not a style my colleagues will have ever seen me in. It's cute and it's very feminine, but it needs toughening up a tad if it's going to work for me so I picked out this amazing H! by Henry Holland Navy Military Jacket (£65) to New Romantic it up a bit. This jacket is unbelievable. The detailing is beautiful on it and it's really weighty. If it had tails (which I'm obsessed with) it would be perf. As very well demonstrated by my hero Prince in the 80's, flouncy sleeves and military detailing go hand in hand, so this was my inspiration for the look as I finished it off with last season's flat OTK boots and an embellished box bag.

Outfit: Jacket and dress - c/o Debenhams, Tights - Wolford, Boots - Debenhams, Bag - Boohoo.com

I like how I can just relax all day in the dress, maybe with a cardi over it to keep it covered, then pop the jacket on for an edgier evening look. All I need to do now is hit the ladies' before we leave to go to town on the liner and lippy, and give my hair a little bouf with a loose curl, and we're set to party like it's 1999! 

What do you think? Have you had your work do yet?
